Article Synopsis
- The olive tree is a key species in the Mediterranean, with a rich history of domestication and now a better understanding of its genomic diversity thanks to whole genome assemblies and annotations.
- Recent research created a comprehensive genomic variation map for 89 olive tree genotypes from across the Mediterranean, highlighting genetic diversity and relationships among different varieties.
- The study also identified candidate genes linked to important traits like olive oil quality and fruit yield, paving the way for future breeding and insights into olive tree biology.
Morphological characterization of olive (Olea europaea L.) varieties to detect desirable traits has been based on the training of expert panels and implementation of laborious multiyear measurements with limitations in accuracy and throughput of measurements. The present study compares two- and three-dimensional imaging systems for phenotyping a large dataset of 50 olive varieties maintained in the National Germplasm Depository of Greece, employing this technology for the first time in olive fruit and endocarps.

Fifty-eight fungal strains isolated from plants of 18 species showing typical wood decay symptoms were characterized by morphological, physiological, and molecular analyses. By 5.
